The Parents and Teachers Association of PS 29 recently posted some information on the Brooklyn Prospect Charter School 's new building site. The new site will be on Douglass Street and 3rd Avenue in Gowanus. The school is scheduled to open in Fall 2012 for students in the 6th through 12th grades.

The school is currently co-located in Sunset Park High School on 35th Street . This is a big success for the school since Summit Academy Charter School had faced some difficulties moving to Gowanus due to zoning laws.

Community Board 6's Landmarks and Land Use Committee had denied the Summit Academy 's permit request earlier this year because the space was designated for manufacturing, according to the Brooklyn Eagle.
